Disclaimer: the song belongs to Lonestar, and it is an awesome song. The characters don't belong to me, and the story idea has probably been done so many times it probably doesn't belong to me either. But this is my special twist!!!
Author's notes: Set after season two. Angel never lost his soul *YAYAY!* and well....I guess I'll leave you there!
Oh! Song is within these: (...)

(He called her on the road
From a lonely cold hotel room
Just to hear her say
"I love you" one more time)
"Angel! Oh, God, it's you! I miss you so much! Even if you called last night! I don't know how I've made it this far, this long without you! I love you so much!"
"I know, Buffy. I miss you too. But this is for the best; you know that, I have to make sure no one gets this piece of the Judge. He's dangerous. We had a hard time disassembling him; I want to make sure no one can assemble him, ever again. You know that."
"I know, but it's easier to remember when you tell me."
(But when he heard the sound
Of the kids laughing in the background
He had to wipe away a tear from his eye)
"Oh, hey, there's someone here who wants to speak to you." He heard noise at the other end.
"Hi, daddy!"
(A little voice came on the phone)
"Oh, hi! How's my big boy?"
(Said "Daddy when you coming home"
He said the first thing that came to his mind)
(I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
I'm your imaginary friend
And I know
I'm in your prayers
Oh I'm already there)
"Hey, put your mom back on, ok? Isn't it bedtime? Go get Aunt Willow to read you and your brother a story. Tell your brother I love him, ok?"
"Ok, daddy! I love you!"
"I love you, too, sweetie, bye bye."
(She got back on the phone
Said, "I really miss you darling
Don't worry about the kids they'll be all right
Wish I was in your arms
Lying right there beside you
But I know that I'll be in your dreams tonight
And I'll gently kiss your lips
Touch you with my fingertips
So turn out the light and close your eyes)
"God, I miss you so much, Angel! I wish you could hold me, just one more time." Her tears were coming now. No matter how long he was gone, she still cried when she talked to him. She was glad he called right before the twins went to bed they never saw her cry. "It's been three years since that night, the night you held me, all night long. Two weeks until you've been gone three years. Do you know when you can come home? When you can come back to me? Being a single mother is hard, Angel. Especially since mom kicked me out. Will's been great, she's a big help, and Giles has forgiven me, mostly, and Kendra's been a big help, but it's just not the same. I need you. The boys need you. They need a father, and I'm sorry, but Xander just isn't a fatherly figure. We need you! Please! Come home!" she cried.
("I'm already there
Don't make a sound
I'm the beat in your heart
I'm the moonlight shining down
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there")
"Hey, baby, I've got to go."
"No! Please! I haven't seen you in three years. The only comfort I get is talking to you! Don't hang up, not yet. I love you so much!"
"But I have to. I've gotta get ready for my flight. And you have patrolling to do."
"Where are you going?"
"Tibet. I actually get to take a flight, and sit in the cabin. The plane leaves at 4:30 p.m., and gets in at 2 am, so no chance of a suntan."
(We may be a thousand miles apart
But I'll be with you wherever you are)
"Then could you come home?"
"Maybe, I don't know. If my friend in Tibet can't take this thing, or destroy it, I know someone in Australia that can. I'll be home just as soon as I can. I love you, baby."
"I love you, too."
"I miss you."
(I'm already there
Take a look around
I'm the sunshine in your hair
I'm the shadow on the ground
I'm the whisper in the wind
And I'll be there until the end
Can you feel the love that we share?
Oh I'm already there
Oh I'm already
There)
